During this past summer student interns working at Greenburgh Town Hall discussed with Hastings resident Dana Bos the importance of treating seniors who have Alzheimer's with respect and compassion. Dana works as a home care consultant for Home Instead Senior Care (located at 77 Tarrytown Road) and devotes many hours trying to encourage businesses and individuals to treat older people who have memory problems better.

The students prepared the following public service announcement that I hope you will watch and think about. The next time you interact with someone suffering from Alzheimer's or any illness be nice to them. Small gestures can make a world of a difference.
